This invention relates to improvements in tags of the type sometimes used to identify pieces of jewelry and the like by attachment thereto.

It is an object of this invention to provide a decorative and useful tag of the type described which is not only attractive in appearance, but which is very serviceable and may be quickly and easily installed and removed fr-om the article on which it is installed,

but which when installed will not accidentally bec-ome separated from such article.

This and other objects of the invention, its nature, and its composition and-arrangement and combination of parts will be readily understood by anyv one acquaintedwith the art to which this invention relates upon consulting the following descriptions of the drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan View of the tag of the invention.r

Figure 2 is a similar view of the invention in folded and engaged position.

Figure 3 is a vertical transverse sectional View taken approximately on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken ap roXimately on the line 1 -4 of Figure 2.

eferring in detail to the drawings, it will be seen that the device of the invention consists of a pair of disks 5, 6 each of which may be provided with the form of an embossed or stamped seal, the disks being connected at one edge by a perforated or weakened joint joint 7 so as to bring the disks 5 and 6 into the superposed relation seen in the remaining figures of the drawings. `The seal 6 is provided with a radial projection 8 which has a half moon or semi-circular cut 9 therein, weakened as at 10, and on the radially outward extremity of the projection 8 there is formed a finger 11 provided with a laterally enlarged semi-circular head 12. Midway of the ends of the finger 11 there is provided a weakened area 13 to facilitate bending the finger as in Figure 2, in the case of the usc of the device for clipping papers together, where the spacing between the portions of 5 the bent nger 11 is not great.

7 so as to provide for easy folding at thel `I lithervdisk may be folded on the perforated area 7 so as to bring it into superpsed relation upon the other disci asV seen particularlj7 well in Figures 3 and 4. When this has,1

been idone a tab 14 provided on the disk-6 and connected thereto by another weakened area 15 is inposition to be bentl aroundthe j edges of the disks 5 and 6 to retain them together as shown in Figure 4.

The enger 11` is,y adapted to be inseaed througha ring, va 4hole'oris otherwise suit-V ably kpassed through an aperture or part ofan article -to be tagged, and then the head is inserted through thecut 9 inthe projection 8, 'in such anwaythat the llateral extensions of the head v12=wil1 catch against the edges of the cut 9 and be returned thereby. The

tab 16 resulting from the cut 9 is then bent y VIt is believed that the above suiciently describes the invention to enable any one acquainted with the art to which the invention relates to make and use the same, and further description therefor will not be given.

It is to be definitely understood that I do not desire to limit the application of this invention to the particular form set out herein to illustrate the principles thereof, and any change or changes may bemade in materialy and structure and arrangement of parts consistent with the spirit and scope of the invention. Y

What is claimed is z- 1. A tag of the type described comprising a pair of disks connected edgeto edge and adapted to be folded upon each other at their juncture, a radial projection on one of the disks, a cut in said projection defining a tab, a headed linger on the projection adapted to be threaded through an aperture in an article, to secure the tag to said article and then bent upon itself so as to permit insertion of the headed portion of the finger through said cut, said tab adapted to be bent to conline the headed portion in the cut.

2. A tag of the type described comprisin adapted to be folded upon each other at their juncture, a radial projection on one of the disks having a cut defining a tab, a headed finger on the projection adapted to loe threaded through on aperture in an article, to secure the tag to said article and. then bent upon itself so vas to. permit insertion of the headed portion of the linger through said out, said tab adapted to be bent to confine the o headed portion inthe eut, and another on said one of the disks adapted to beflent Y to retain the disks together when folded,` upon each other. 3.
